High school — Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions, identifying the percent rate of change and classifying them as representing exponential growth or decay.
The skill that covers it
What a student should be able to do
- Write an exponential model from a starting amount and a percent growth or decay rate.
- Compute compound interest with n compounding periods per year, and continuous growth with e.
- Model half-life and population change, and find a growth factor from two readings.
- Compare models and rates, including the effective annual rate.
